I don't think you could have a 7 with a manual. But I can't see having a BMW sports sedan without a manual.

I think that you’ve got to make something that pleases you and hope that other people feel the same way.

I think that's the important thing - being aware of that inspiration and being able to interpret it into something that's meaningful for you.
